I bought this backpack as a stow away pack for trips. I have a larger pack that I use when travelling, but that one is too big for a quick trip. This pack is perfect. You can put several small, light things in it and not be weighed down by a more cumbersome pack. If you put anything too hard or big in it, it will poke you because it is definitely lightweight.

Bought this bag for a cruise to take on shore excursions, but I know it will come in handy for future day trips and hiking. Nice deep water bottle pockets and I love the inside pocket doubles as a pouch to fold the bag into (not a separate pouch that would soon be lost).
